You may need to first take ownership of the folder [also selecting
subcontainers/objects] while logged on as an administrator which will give
you the ability to give yourself full control permissions to those files. If
those folders were encrypted with EFS and you did not backup your EFS
private key, you probably will never be able to access those files. See the
link below on taking ownership. --- Steve
